'TO ALL WHOIMIY IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known vthat I, FREDERICK T'. Suini, ofI Titusville, Crawford county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented anew and improved Mode of Burning Crude Petroleum or other Combustible -Fluids; and I'do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whieh- Figure 1 is a crosssection,

Figure 2, a perspective view, showincgr tliecap or covers thrown back.

Figurev 3, a perspective view. of the perforated draught-pan, allowing the falling bottom; and

Figure 4, a longitudinal section of a boiler, with the apparatus in position, as applied to it.

My invention consists in n. frame, E, with the projecting lugsor brackets, c a, and-holding in its place-the perforated draghbpan A. Upon the lugs or brackets c 'e rests the oil-dish'li, having a rectangular opeuing,f, i-n the centre, ancl'thc upright tubes It It for the admission of ir from the draught-pan to every part o'f the oil cr-iuid, nhiehis fed into 'the oil-dish around the tubes by the pipe d, and regulated by an ordinary stop-cock,

The-whole is covered by the cap C, cast, for convenience, in` two parts, and having an opening' between themfor the escape ofthe flame. i

A jet ci' dry steam fromthe dome or upper part of the boiler is fed into the openingf, by the pipe S, for the pnrpo'se'of acting as a blower, to increase the draught. Ind any place where an airfblon'er is used, the pipe S `is used to conduct atmospheric air for the same punpse.

'lhe draught-pan A has n. falling bottom, a, fastening by a catch, for the'purposc of bet-ter reaching any part ofthe apparatus, to arrange or cle'-n out.

The caps or covers C C have an inside partition, 'm m, for the purpose of projecting part of the air-current more directly'acro'ss thc tops of the tubcs'; al'soon. the outside of the front capor cover,is a. slide,. P, for the purpose of reducing and reguiuting the opening between thetno halves oi' the eover.

What I claim as my inventiomandV .desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The cap or cover C, together with the inside partitionsm en, and the reducer P, for the purpose of conining and directingV the currents of air upon the ilexne before they-`cun pass out ofthe opening at the top.

2. The combination ofthe frame, draught-pan, oil-dish, and covers, as above describedfall so placed, airtight, in the fire-box or chamber, that no air can pass into the said fire-box, Aexcept such as passes through the draught-pan aforesaid, for the purpose of producingheat from crude petroleum or other combustible fluids.
